Title JERUSALEM'S SKYLINE TO RETURN TO NORMAL.
Scope and content Jerusalem's famous skyline has not been quite itself in recent months, for the golden dome of the AI-Aqsa (Dome of the Rock) Mosque has been undergoing repairs since July 1992. The work: - to repair a previously leaky roof - is due to be completed by March of this year. The Mosque was built in the late seventh century and still retains the original design and structure. The roof was previously built of an aluminum alloy which eventually allowed rainwater to penetrate the building - causing irreparable damage to the invaluable panels of mosaics, timber and stucco. The roof is now being replaced with a copper and zinc paneling. The total cost of the reconstruction work will be $US 6.5 million - all of which is being paid by a personal donation from Jordan's King Hussein. Photo shows: The photograph shows the Golden Dome of the AI-Aqsa (Dome of the Rock:) Mosque as it presently appears. The reconstruction work that has now been underway for more than a year and a half is nearing completion.
